Can These Bones Live?
The Body of Christ across the earth needs to rise and lead in this cultural moment. We need bones to bring structure and solidity. We need the breath of God to animate them into living beings on mission to extend the Kingdom of God.
We are a people of Scripture and the Spirit, a people who carry proven strategies in one hand and prophetic revelation in the other, a people who emphasize strong leadership and systems but also contend for acceleration and breakthrough moments.
Join us for this year’s Global Leadership Conference in Portland Oregon. It is a time to come together, call on the Spirit of God, and be equipped for this next stretch on the frontlines of what God is doing on the earth. Across the earth, the Spirit still asks the ancient question: “Can these bones live?” Our response is “Yes! It is the hour for breath and bones.”
